A heater of 400 Watt was on for 5 hours what is electrical Consumption

Correct answer: C. 2 KWh

  • A. 20 KWh
  • B. 12 KWh
  • C. 2 KWh
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

To determine the electrical consumption, first convert the power from Watts to kilowatts: 400 Watts is equal to 0.4 kW. Then multiply the power by the time the heater was on: 0.4 kW x 5 hours = 2 kWh. Therefore, the correct answer is 2 KWh.Option A (20 KWh) is incorrect because it assumes an erroneous power usage of 4000 Watts, which is not given. Option B (12 KWh) is incorrect due to an incorrect power conversion to 2.4 kW. Option D ('None of the above') is incorrect because a valid solution exists with the provided information, which is 2 kWh.

About Current Electricity

Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
